My 10 year old cat Zoe has been laying in her bed all day. Whenever I go to check on her, she starts purring. She was barely opening her eyes today. Her breathing is normal, no stuffy nose, I saw her pee once, and she's eating and drinking. I even took her temperature and it's 101.3F, which is considered normal. She hasn't been out of her bed other than to use the litter box. I don't want to go to the vet becuase it's so expensive and shes eating and drinking.

Anyone have a similar experience with their cat? I don't know what could be bothering her :(

Help!

Is-it-really-warm-where-you-are?Its-been-very-warm-here-for-weeks,and-mine-get-kinda-lazy-too,like-we-do,when-its-really-warm.When-it-cools-down-some-in-the-evening,they-play-normal,or-in-the-early-morn,when-its-cooler,they-play-normal.

One-thing-I-did-do,which-seems-to-make-them-more-comfortable,and-not-so-sluggish,is-I-cut-their-food-in-half-for-each-feeding.You-also-want-to-make-sure,they-stay-hydrated,so-in-the-late-evening,I-mix-1-teaspoon-Gerber-chicken-baby-food,with-cool-water,so-its-like-a-broth.

Its-kinda-like,when-its-real-warm,we-don't-really-feel-like-eating,or-eating-much,seems-to-make-us-more-uncomfortable,and-we-drink-extra-water,so-we-stay-hydrated,and-the-cool-water,kinda-refreshes-us.

Had-a-couple-of-friends-ask-me,if-mine-are-sluggish-too,told-them-to-cut-the-food-they-feed-in-half,and-give-them-the-baby-food-in-water,to-keep-them-hydrated,they-said-it-worked-for-them.

Even-with-the-horses,we-cut-their-grain-way-back,and-put-electrolites-in-their-water,to-encourage-them-to-drink-more,do-not-give-her-electrolites,its-for-horses.

If-she-is-eating-and-drinking,you-actually-see-her-drinking,using-the-cat-box,her-temp-is-normal,no-sneezing,runny-eyes/nose,its-most-likely-the-heat.

If-its-not-the-heat,then-take-her-in,all-it-will-cost-you-is-an-office-visit,ballpark-$45,they-can-examin-her,and-if-they-feel-tests-need-to-be-run,they-will-tell-you-how-much-they-are-and-you-can-go-from-there.
